depression
contagious?

am i a danger
to those i love?

am i a carrier
exposing those closest to me
to the demons beneath my skin?

like the female samurai poison tasters
who can never know the touch of another
because of the built-up of poisons
running through their veins

should i live the solitary life
of a ronin without a clan
or that of a reclusive monk
high on some mountain top?

perhaps, like all of the above
i should strive to ensure
that my contributions outnumber
my detriments...
